It is critical for the Industry to continually obtain and develop talent that is ready to address the opportunities and challenges in the area of Fermentation. The diversity of the fermentation industry creates excitement but it also creates complexity and those opportunities and complexities in the field of fermentation and beyond need to be addressed with talent. The number of methods and views on the topic of people development and education are as varied as fermentation itself.  Industry and Academia will come together during this session to present and discuss their current best practices within and between organizations (Curriculum, Technician training programs, internships, Co-op programs, rotation programs, etc) and their expectations for the students and the employees of today and tomorrow.
